I'm inl My wife always agrees with
Olive, and even Pauline echoes her SO I
dare not dispute q word she says
Max looked pleased, and Mrs. RAN
dali positively beamed on her husband.
But fancy the feelings of all when Max
said: . ~
| $"The most singular part of the whole
affair is this: (, One of my-of old Tom
Jennings's friends heard of this bargain
between Cabot and me, and put me. in
the way of proving that Tom Jennings
adopted me in my earliest infancy out
Of an orphan asylum, where I had been
placed by mother just before her death.
She was in consumption, and as her last
few hours drew near she made a conf
dant Of Tom Jennings's wife, and told
her that she had been deceived by a
false marriags between herself and the
father Of this Edgar Cabot. AS the
years passed, and Tom found that the
Cabots were not, as q rule, dissolute
men, he thought lie would investigate
the so-called false marriage. He did
SO, and found that it was a genuine one;
that my father, Edgar Cabot, ST., lr,d
had no intention Of decelving my
mother, but having died suddenly be-
fore my birth, had kept the marriage
secret only for fear Of his farher's
wrath, for my mother was a plain farm
er's daughter, poor but Honest, as the
phrase is. Old Tom had become fond
me, and knowing that the Cabots
had dnothing to bequeath me except the
name, he legally adopted me as his son.
So, you see, [ purchased my ancestors
Of my older half-brother, Edgar Cabot.
l came here tonight, DR.. Randall, to
tell you this story: Tomorrow
MAX, was your mothers name
Rachel?" DR.. Randall asked, abruptly.
"Yes; Rachel Dennison, of Weston
Mills"
II was present at your birth, boy.
and mother told me this story. I
Investigated it for her sake, and found
it true, your father having been a wild
over before he met your mother. When
l next saw her she was dead and the
baby had vanished. so the whole thing
went out Of my mind until this mo-
ment. " Here the doctor had to pause
to1rub his spectacles, and Pauline took
advantage a}lpaGn Of the brief silence to say,
sSAow that you've got grandfather
'of your owl, I suppose you and Oliver
will be getting married. and then you'll

BREAKING "A HEART.
What This Amusement Costs in tho
Polish Circles of .Nanticokc.

A pretty Polish maiden named Maria
Luchminski, has been playing sad
havoc with the hearts Of several young
Polish gentlemen residing at Nanti-
coke. Maria has been in this country
about six months, but during that short
time she managed to win the affec-
tions Of no less than half a dozen sui
tors. Among the latter were a drug
clerk and a miner. These two had q
lively race as to who should win the
prize. Each tried to outdo the other in
buying presents for their idol. In the
course of time the tick.e maiden became
tired Of both and gave them the mitten.
John Makinwinski, another young Pole,
then became best man. lie proposed
marriage and was accepted.
When Michael Anton, one Of the old
lovers heard Of tho engagement he
almost went wild. He quit work in
the mines, and brought suit for the re-
coyery Of presents or their equivalent
presented to his false sweetheart from
time to time. He filed the following
bill Of particulars:
Dress goods for wedding dress. !. SIC 90
Wrap to get married in. ~. IL 90
10 clergyman. ........ 90
Three tickets to Wilkesbarre. -. 90
Marriage license. ................ SO
Refreshments while in town. 80. 1 90
Fiddler. sc
Making dress. 80
For necktie, gloves, etc. -. =. 10 do
After footing up tho figures the
Squire found that $7.2O had been
charged for injury to heart affections,
time lost in moving, looking up fiddler,
ETC., and as the other side objected to
the item it was struck from the bill.
The squire proposed that Il compromise
be effected by Malsinwinsli paying over
tile amount claimed to the discarded
lover. At first he refused. Maria
said: Gail right; I won't have any
thing to do with man who refuses to
pay forty-two dollars to keep me out OF
jail. Il will marry Anton, my old
lover" The latter went into ecstasy,
but his JOY was short-lived. Maxim
winski said he would pay the bill if
Maria would tbe his sawife. The girl
consented, and the money was paid i.

AN A NCIENT RUIN.
History of the Picturesque Circular
Church ut Charleston.

The ruins Of Circular Church, one of
the most picturesque ruins Of Charles
ton, is about to disappear as one Of the
city's landmarks. The church, OF
rather all that was left Of it after the
great fire Of 1861, has been point Of
interest to every visitor to Charleston
for the past twenty-five years, and
with its twin relic, st. Finbar's cathe-
dral, is soon to pass out Of existence as
an ornamental ruin. Its crumbling
walls and its ''coignes of vantage" on
its topping tower have been the resort
Of the doves and sparrows for an inde-
finite number Of years, and it's ivy-clad
walls have made up picture of sad
and pathetic interest.
According to the information given
in Mayor Courtenay's Year Book Of
1882, the church was constituted be-
tween the years 1850 and 1900. Its
founders were Presbyterians from Scot
land and ireland, Congregationalist
from England and New England, and
French Protestants who had emigrated
to South Carolina upon the revocation
Of the edict Of Nantes. The first three
ministers Of the church are supposed to
have been congregationalists. The
popular name or the original church
was the 't;White Meetlngg" a name
which was evidently applied from the
color Of the building. In consequence
of the revolutionary war the church re-
NAMED without a permanent minister
for six years, but in 1888 regular SER
vice was resumed. The original build.
ing used by the congregation was only
forty feet square, but i'll 1772 tho de-
mand for pews necessitated the con-
struction Of a new church, which was
erected in 1887 on Archdaie street In
1904 it was determined to build new
and handsome edifice in circular form,
eighty.eight feet interior diameter.
The church was dedicated in 1906, and
in 1883 a lofty and graceful spire was
added. 1t was from the latter date an
ornament to the city until 1t was burn-
ed in 1851. Gsi.
| 1t is now proposed by the congrega-
| ton to erect a new building on the site
Of the old one. The object Of the con-
gregation is being materially futhered
by che Congregationalists throughout
the United States.

EXTENIPoRE SPEAKING.
Daniel Webster and Another Saw
There is No Such Thing. G#

a gentleman who has achieved quite
reputation as an extempore speaker
says that there is no such thing, and he
has Daniel Webster on his side in MAIN
tanning this claim, for that matter.
"There Is, to be sure" he says, "such
a thing as depending Oh the inspiration
of tho moment, but you have got to
sketch out something in your mind as a
beginning, even If only for the purpose
OF throwing it all away, point by point,
when you get up. My plan is to go to
work about a day beforehand and I'M
agine the speech that I am going to
make, from beginning to end. In the
calm Of my chamber, of course, 1 can
think up number Of things to say.
When get up to speak can remember
these thing ina general way, but the
difficulty is to connect them logically
and continuously. Very often the con-
nectlon becomes exceedingly rough, and
there is where the, inspiration of the
moment comes in. Some shred Of
thought that comes from 4 glimpse Of
some onelin the room that you know
taking the shape of a humorous refer
ence to him will help you out wonder
fully, for the personal always takes.
Once get the people to laughing at some
OF your carefully thought out,extem-
poraneous humor, and you can get in
any sort Of chestnut on themLeven
the story Of the tramp who was offered
a ticket to a banquet, when he was beg
ging for money to buy food, and who,
when he found out there were going to
be after dinner speeches at this dinner,
preferred to go out and lie down behind
a she'd and die. This story always
makes your hearers laugh and acts like
a wet blanket on the fellowstwho come
after you,, thus giving your address a
relative brilliancy that it might not pos
sess otherwise. Stories, stories always;
don't forget those. And if you can't
remember the connection that you we're
going to tell them in, tell them any
way. But il you really find that you
have thought Of something new since
you got up, and are actually inspired to
say something that you hadn't on your
programme, don't hesitate to say it (;
that one inspiration may give your
whole speech n flavor of extemporane-
BUSINESS. And above all, don't get in
| to your shell and refuse ever to make
speeches, because that is simply a means
| Of incapacitating yourself. Talk up,
somehow, and you will do as we'll as
tile rest, aftera while." 4.

ANARCHISTS PLOT.


IL LOORs as 10 the COnViCts Were 10
Have Been Rescued or Blown Up.
CHICAGO, Jan. 3l.-Polioe Captain
Setback in an interview yesterday ad-
mitted that he had been for over fort
night investigating what appeared to be
an anarchist plot to save Spies and his
fello s-consp,tators from death on THO
sllowB Within Alopth there bHs btef.
parked revival OF interest u ne
anarchist meetings in this city and the
efforts of the police to kesp track of
their proceedings has redoubled. Al a
result Captain Setback came into pos
session of drawing which was
recognized rs the basement plan Of
the Jail and criminal court building. II
was accurate in every particular. Even
the sewers and waste pipes were located.
Basement plans of the buildings on CLARK
street extending to the Jail alley were
also shown. From certain of these
buildings lines were drawn which
met in the centre Of the jail yard
Investigation showed that the Easements
indicated were those for rent or of which
the leases could be purchased Captain
Schaack's inquiries led to the theory that
the lines centring in the jail yard repre-
scented possible or projected tunnels.
Negotiations had been entered for the
lease of one basement by prospectiv,
shoe dealers who stipulated for the divi
sion of the basement by close partition
separating the front from the back
Boxes were TO be delivered and taker
from the rear entrance. A close watcl
has been kept, but without result, ant
hopes of capturing the conspirators hay,
been abandoned.
Captain Setback believes that the de
sign was to cheat the gallows by blowing
up the condemned anarchists, and witt
them the officers delegated to conduct TIN
execution. If tunnels were designed t.
enable the anarchists to escape the line
would not reach to the jail yard, blu
rather to the Jail outside.

Crowded Resolutions Passed.
New YoRK, Jan 30.-The Academy of
Music was crowded tonight in response
to the call of the central labor union for a
mass-meeting to express their disapproyal
of Archbishop Corrigan's suspension of
the Rev. DR.. Edward McGlynn. On the
stage were Henry George, Colonel X. ].
Hinton, John MoMaclin and other promi-
nent labor men and Catholics.
The committee on resolutions presented
preamble and resolutions, which were
adopted unanimously. Archbishop Corri-
gan is denounced for his acts concerning
DIR. McGlynn's course. They resent any
attempt of ecclesiastical authority in or
out of the United States to drag religion
into politics and to coerce its ministers in
the exercise of the rights of citizenship.
They protest against DR.. McGlynn's be.
ing called to Rome to account for his
opinions and acts as an attempt TO estab.
iish dangerous precedent that an Ameri-
can citizen can be questioned in a foreign
country for his course in American poli.
tics, They extend sympathy and pledge
the support of the party to the Rev. Dr.,
McGlynn.
After the resolutions were passed John
Y. Graham spoke, followed by Henry
George.
